Linked, mobile, informal: The working environment
is in the midst of a radical transformation process.
As part of the New Work Order study for ophelis,
the Trendbüro consultancy in Hamburg has com-
piled the main trends that will influence tomorrow‘s
working world. This change in the working envi-
ronment is already noticeable and will continue to
increase, as it impacts all kinds of areas including
our forms of communication, leadership styles
and new working models adapted to the various
life stages.
“The current transition from an industrial to a net-
work economy requires nothing less from
businesses than a full reorganisation,” says Birgit
Gebhardt, trend expert.
ophelis has intensively examined this transforma-
tion process and sought for answers to the spatial
challenges by exploring new working structures.
One answer is ophelis docks. docks stands for
the new office generation. Designed as a modular
furniture system, it creates new zones in the office
which provide a common space for work, com-
munication and quiet contemplation and give the
working environment a more attractive design.

makes wayfor the future
ophelis docks stands
for a new method
of attractive interior
design which provides
a common space for
working and living.
The system offers a
wide variety of options,
is freely configurable,
supports electrical con-nections and features
an integral product
approach due to its
self-contained design.
With docks ophelis
has reacted to the
transformation of the
classic office work
place into a multi-
functional communal
space which is used
flexibly by cross-
disciplinary teams.
„The quality and the
variety of this exchange
are the key to effective
work. We believe that
office furniture should
enable flexible, decen-
tralised communica-
tions. It should supportinformal office chats
just as much as spon-
taneous work meetings
in a small group,“ say
Till Grosch and Björn
Meier, designers.
ophelis docks is designed as a modular system
which can be combined in various ways to create
different office islands. It is communal furniture
which optimally supports teamwork and can also
be designed as a personal reference point in open
spaces. The modules can be put together in such
a way as to provide acoustic and visual privacy or
open-plan meeting areas.
Designers Till Grosch and Björn Meier believeophelis docks is the answer not only to the func-
tional but also the emotional changes which the
office is currently undergoing – increasingly, the
office is not just a place of work but also a living
environment. ophelis docks is designed to support
well-being in the office. docks is a modular system
which creates connections and transitions. docks
is a place for quiet contemplation as well as a
meeting point; it supports the office community
and provides space for individuals.
The single docks elements are designed to match
the dimensions of ophelis furniture ranges, so that
storage space and all the other components from
classic work station zones can be seamlessly con-
nected and integrated. Used as a transition and
connection element between various zones in the
office, ophelis docks allows for a change of scene,
produces synergy effects, promotes internal
communications and enhances the feeling of well-
being in the workplace.
Thanks to its modularity, ophelis docks offers a
great deal of scope for individual, customer-
specific designs. The basic form is a 90 cm x
90 cm square. ophelis docks can be integrated in
all spaces as an office island in a width dimension
of 15 centimetres with various options for a linear,
L-, T- or cross links design. The ophelis docks
portfolio covers a variety of upholstered modules
with or without screen, storage space and tables
in lounge, sitting or standing height, which can
be put together to create various scenes. The
„bricks“ system components also supply additional

on panels, finish off ophelis docks.
